New movement on the political board: the Canary Islands Coalition (CC) is willing to support an eventual investiture of the leader of the winner of the elections, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, once “Vox’s participation in a future government led by the PP” has been ruled out.
In this way, the party that will have deputy Cristina Valido as its representative in Congress transfers all the pressure to the PSOE 10 days after the composition of the Board of the Lower House is decided. If your vote joins the bloc on the right, it would add one more seat than the potential partners of Pedro Sánchez, who would no longer be worth it just with an abstention from Junts.
In CC they continue to show their predisposition to sit down and talk about the problems of the Canary Islands “with whoever is going to appear for the investiture”, which includes the acting president. “But one of our red lines, that of Vox in the Government, no longer exists, so it seems that this alternative of dialogue and support is opening up,” they specify.
For its part, the PP highlights that with the resignation of Santiago Abascal’s party to demand to be part of a government in exchange for their votes, it has managed to secure the support of its 33 representatives. In addition, they highlight that today they have not only achieved the support of the UPN deputy, but also “the Central Electoral Board has shielded seat 16, for a total of 137, for the province of Madrid.”
“At this moment, after winning the elections with the best percentage of the vote for the Popular Party since 2011, after climbing 48 seats, and after being the first president of the PP to win the general elections on the first try and after only 16 months in office , Feijóo has 171 votes in favor to preside over a government alone”, they underline in the direction of Genoa.
Where they insist: “For that same challenge, Pedro Sánchez would have 50 fewer seats. He can add 30 if instead of a lone government he guarantees a coalition with the 18 parties that make up Sumar (including Podemos and the PCE). But for Overcoming those that would still separate him from Feijóo would need the express support of the rest of the parliamentary arc”.
“In other words, Feijóo is five seats away from assembling a majority for a lone government and Sánchez could only avoid it if, after losing the elections, he tries what no one has ever done: opt for an investiture after being defeated and opting for it at support of each and every one of the nationalist or pro-independence parties of our country”, they add in the popular leadership.
In this sense, they point out that Feijóo “will do everything possible” to expand his support in the coming days and to get the Congress of Deputies to inaugurate him as president “in case the King proposes to form a government as the winner of the general elections.”
For their part, the Socialists maintain that the PP candidate “knows that he does not have a majority in Congress, not even with his far-right partner, with whom he is increasingly linked in his project of cuts and setbacks.” In addition, they reproach him for, despite filling his mouth with “constitutionalism”, “obvious in all his interventions” article 99 of the Spanish Constitution, which stipulates that it is the King who has to propose a candidate for the Presidency of the Government.
“This is what we have been saying since the day of the elections, while the PP and Feijóo seem to live in their particular Matrix. The PSOE will continue working to articulate a majority in which Spain continues to grow, creating employment and advancing in rights”, they emphasize in the direction of Ferraz.
And they conclude with a heterogeneous combination of elements: “Feijóo’s project of lies, evil and manipulation has failed. He continues without explaining his lies, he continues without explaining his bonus or his vacations with Marcial Dorado, a drug trafficker. He has linked his destiny to the extreme right”.
